I'd like to see the blue pearl in person. might look really good. other than that, not thrilled with color selection. Just like the world was supposed to end last May, same with liquid cool. What else is new.

It could be interesting but I wonder how close it might be to the cobalt blue??

They did say that the spoke wheels will be available all touring models except the Limited and that they now are "Tubeless". And I like the new red!

I didn't see any mention of the stereo not being complete/installed on any of the new bikes. Did I miss something? Or are they just trying to keep that quiet?

I like the new blue, as I am a big fan of that shade of blue. Guess it comes from racing motocross on Yamahas for too many years.

I am glad that they released the new touring bikes. I have been saying that I was pretty happy with what I have now (after a mad bike buying spree), and that I can't see getting a different bike until there is something really awesome.

I was really happy with my 08 RoadKing, then I got my 09 RG (OIF Present to self/custom project). I didn't think that the frame change was that big of deal until I started riding my RG a lot. Decided that I "needed" to get the 10 LTD. Both bikes already have the 103" and now they both run pretty good, so I am sticking with them.

So...Harley announces their 2012 lineup and the forums are abuzz with what? COLORS? really? When did a bunch of burly Harley dudes start talking about their favorite color combinations? Anyone wanna crochet a new seat cover? Maybe take in a Broadway show and sing-along?

I don't care what color mine is...I want the cheapest one I can get with all the options I want and hopefully it'll be too dirty for anyone to notice what color it is from being on the road.

Colors.....*rolls eyes*

here's how I was expecting the conversation would go

"Hey....looks like the new Harleys are out and all they've done is change the colors"

"meh"

So the rumor I heard about Sedona Orange not available in 2012 was true I guess ...
